Weekend Trip to The Pinecone

I loved my stay at Brianne’s land would definitely go back beautiful back country feels with all your needs.

Weekend Trip to Erie View Glamping

This place is a dream, very relaxing and connecting with nature. Abraham was amazing went above and beyond. We really recommend this place and for sure we’re planing to come back again.

Weekend Trip to Macksville Acres

We had a great night at the cabin! We were longing for the camp fire in the evening, so we enjoyed the stars while roasting marshmallows. The cabin was very cozy with the wood stove. Scott had the place stocked with lots of dry wood for both the campfire and stove. We both slept well on the fold down futon. The mattress was very comfortable. We played cards, games and just unplugged from the world. The cabin was a short 1.5 hrs from home and was a great get away from the city for a night. We look forward to our next visit.

Weekend Trip to Oliver's Tiny House & Nordic Spa

We had the best time! Was late March and we visited for a birthday celebration to get away from the city (GTA). Was so nice to be able to go south instead of north for once! Further north was hit by a wicked ice storm the weekend we were there but since we avoided that area and went closer to Lake Erie. We made the best choice we could’ve given the weather conditions. It drizzled rain on and off the entire time we were there but it was a welcomed refresh between hopping from the sauna to the hot tub. Bring LOTS of wood. Sauna heats up very quick but hot tub is a process. The tiny home was very clean and cozy and offered everything we needed for two nights. We only cooked outside. Would recommend to anyone looking for a weekend away that feels like you’re hours away in the wilderness but really only an hour or two away from home. Property was beautiful and we watched lots of deer roaming the property. Perfect getaway in the woods for couples!

Weekend Trip to Macksville Acres

Very nice rustic cabin. Well equiped and very private.

Weekend Trip to Braemar Valley Nature Sanctuary

Great spot! Really nice hosts. Would definitely come back!

Weekend Trip to Liz H.’s Land

We had an amazing experience staying on Liz’s land. The land is beautiful with forests and clearings. We loved the little trails and seeing what they had going on on the property. The children loved feeding the chickens and exploring the forest. Liz and Jason were amazing hosts and gave us space, but made us feel very welcome too. We came during the maple syrup season and they invited us to their sugar shack and shared some of their freshly made maple syrup with us, as well as some hot chocolate made with the maple sap. Our children got to meet their two day old chick. What a beautiful experience. We can’t thank them enough and look forward to returning again in the summer.

Weekend Trip to Spring Arbour Magic Forest &Trails!

Weekend Trip to Spring Arbour Magic Forest &Trails!

Super quiet and nice get away from the city. Only small negative was the height of the doorway to the cabin. When you’re half asleep, you may bonk your head 😂 my buddy and I kept knocking out heads off it every so often. Great location and wonderful cabin. Thank you for hosting

1 night at Macksville Acres

Stayed with my dog as a treat for his bday and it was so lovely. Loved the wood stove and the rustic feel of the cabin. We'll definitely be back as this is great for winter "camping" when it's too cold for a tent

1 night at Erie View Glamping

The host was incredible and very helpful. We enjoyed our stay and are planning to come back for the tree house😆

Weekend Trip to Erie View Glamping

Amazing views. Host went above and beyond for us. Would highly recommend.

Weekend Trip to Erie View Glamping

This really is the most perfect HipCamp. Impeccably clean, fully stocked with everything you could need, the kindest host who had the wood stove stoked and dome all warm and cozy for us for our winter weekend retreat. We can’t wait to go back.

Weekend Trip to Macksville Acres

An amazing stay at the cabin. Well equipped. Great location for stargazing. The wood stove kept us nice and warm for an early February stay. Owner is responsive and very accommodating. Thank you for a great getaway.

1 night at Erie View Glamping

Stunning location and immaculate accommodations. This was our best Glamping experience yet. The host was awesome and the view of the lake from the dome was amazing.

Super quiet and private. A nice getaway from the city.

Weekend Trip to Macksville Acres

Exactly what I needed. Beautiful little break from everyone and everything. Was warm and cozy upon arrival and great communication with the host.

Weekend Trip to Liz H.’s Land

This was my second visit to the site and it was as amazing as the first. Liz and her husband were so accommodating and made some great recommendations that made the location of my campsite even more secluded. At this time of year, the leaves were gone so they showed me a location further in that was just beautiful. Unfortunately, I ended up having to leave abruptly due to illness. I was concerned about the fire still steaming and let Liz know it was. She was kind enough to tell me she would check on it and I was able to focus on just getting home. I’ve said it before and will say it again, definitely my regular go to spot now.

Weekend Trip to Spring Arbour Magic Forest &Trails!

Second time coming back here! Nice forested area that provides endless quiet. Very peaceful get away, wood stove super toasty in the bunkie and the wood stands by all sites is unmatchable. Best yet even got to witness Erik land his plane! Great place to visit, would recommend to anyone.

As our farming adventure continues, we are loving that each day brings new opportunities for learning. We invite you to join us as we continue to seek greener pastures!
